The winners of the 2021 Architectural Photography Awards have been announced; and the competition results reflect the challenging year we’ve had, touching upon subjects around the pandemic, city life and architecture. Liu Xinghao was crowned the overall winner, with work springing from the Sense of Place category of the awards cycle and taking on the theme of holidaying during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The coveted prize, which includes a pot of $4250 to be shared between the winners, is selected among the awards’ several categories, spanning six themes in total: Exterior, Interior, Sense of Place, Buildings in Use, Mobile , and Portfolio . With the shortlisted works revealed earlier this year, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the news on the big winner, and the top spots have been revealed today as part of the annual World Architecture Festival events.
The international prize, which has been growing from strength to strength within the architecture photography industry since its inception in 2012, prides itself to be wide-reaching and diverse, and this year was no exception. Entries arrived from 42 countries, from the UK and US, to China, Australia and Iran.
‘This was a tough competition to judge and I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of all the entries presented to us especially in terms of their compositional and technical quality.
